NEUTRO APPLICATIONS
__________________________________________
Neutro Applications is an engineering firm focused on the design and construction of aquaculture facilities specialised in RAS. We define these infrastructures throughout the different phases of the project, from budgeting, design, manufacture and construction management until their final start-up and operation management.
AQUACULTURE, A GROWTH MARKET
According to FAO, world fish consumption per capita reached a historic high of 20kg in 2014. This increasing consumption trend is expected to continue. Taking as well into account the constant population growth, it can be concluded that there will be a great increment in the demand of seafood: estimated at about 25 million tons per year in 2025 and 80 million tons by 2050. Due to overexploitation of fish stocks, this rise has been provided by aquaculture, reaching to be the origin of 50% of the world consumed fish in 2014, which is believed to reach 57% of the total in 2025. Therefore, it becomes a strategic sector for the society and making it more technical will be crucial to get a position in the competitive immediate global market.
RAS: RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEM
Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) has proven to be as the most advanced water management system able to assume in a sustainable way the production increase derived from the evolution of the worldwide aquaculture market. In a RAS, in essence, the water coming from the production tanks is driven to the treatment plant and returned to them once the desired quality is recovered.
In Neutro Applications we are specialized in the implementation and use of RAS. We are experts in the design, manufacture and installation of water treatment plants for the use of this technology which we can incorporate both to an existing facility to the integral design of entire fish farms, mollusc purification facilities or any other production plant in closed circuit.
We also incorporate our high technical knowledge in aquaculture engineering and biology which allows us, through our consulting work, to satisfy our clients´ needs no matter how complex or special they are.
Water management is based on our one-of-a-kind RAS, entirely developed by our team, which arises as the result of our Research, Development and Innovation processes together with our successful experience.
Through our RAS, we can control the properties of the medium where the individuals live: the culture water. We can fix the water conditions at any species optimum point for its growth and also for the minimization of pathologies. Therefore, the animals grow under controlled conditions: by controlling the quality of the water we get the control of the production.
WATER REUSE
Water reuse allows savings of 90-99% of inlet water as well as the control of the culture medium characteristics.
QUALITY-QUANTITY FISH
The control of the culture water and the pathogen reduction allow to increase the farming production along with the quality of the product and its value.
SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste concentration and its separation from the production water allow to reduce wastewater volume and facilitates its elimination through a suitable treatment.
MONEY SAVING, PROFIT INCREASE
Considerable reduction in operating costs. Free pathogen production with sustainable system brings a highly monetizable added value.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
Activities with a reduced impact on the environment that guarantee the sustainability and future of our planet are an undoubted value for our society.
SPF (SPECIFIC PATHOGEN FREE)
Through a global farm design: hydraulics, materials, zoning, treatment… Neutro Applications can offer a SPF farm, pathogen free.
